1956 Topps Elvis Presley trading cards captured the King of Rock and Roll at the peak of his early era. This set was released in the midst of a string of hit records, the start of his film career, and predates his draft into the military.
The set, which was released under Topps’ subsidiary “Bubbles Inc”, contained 66 cards with cards #47-66 geared specifically to Elvis’ first film, Love Me Tender, which was released in November of 1956.
This set marked the beginning of sets being designed for a single specific artist and was also among the first sets to utilize the now standard 2.5×3.5 card dimension. Not even 1956 Topps baseball cards had yet moved to this card size.
